Out of curiosity, is the manual from the US version of Final DOOM identical to the manual from the EU version?  I have 2 Final DOOM manuals.  One is CD case-sized (it came with a Platinum re-release of the PC [DOS/Windows] version but the instructions are for Macintosh) and does not contain any story.  The other (from the EU version) is larger and more detailed: 

Photo of Quake collection.  It's complete in terms of the official PC series (minus Enemy Territory), although I don't have every release of each game (e.g., Quake: The Offering; QII: Colossus; big box version of Ultimate Quake; CD version of Quake 4; individual big box releases of QIII Arena, QIII: Team Arena, and the QII add-ons; shovelware and TCs...)  Not pictured:  Malice for Quake jewel case (inside the Quake and DOOM compilation box).

**Eyes some boxed copies of DOOM 2 and Quake that have recently appeared on eBay.**  They're actually relatively cheap.  However, they're just budget range Platinum re-releases...

**Listens to the DOOM music using the OPL instrument banks from Duke 3D, RotT, and other games.**

Airing out a Depths of DOOM Trilogy big box because it reeks of tobacco smoke.  Bleh.

Anyone have scans of the addendum from the US DOS CD-ROM version of Hexen?  Pretty sure it's missing from the one I got.

Diablo games.

Does anyone know what all of the contents in a brand new DOS CD-ROM DOOM II v1.666 US/Canadian release are?  Did all releases contain the same paperwork?

Finally got the original big box release of Duke 3D Atomic Edition.  Surprisingly hard to find.
 

Got the Ultimate Quake compilation.  Mainly for the poster, and also because I've never played Q3A before (aside from a demo).

I found a thread from a few years ago on some site where someone said the original big box releases of DOOM (including the US floppy disk mail-order release) are "next to worthless" and that they "wouldn't pay $5 each for them."  So uh, why are the two mail-order releases on eBay more than AU $800 each?  Did their value increase by $800 in like 4 years?  Are they overpriced?

I got Chasm: The Rift today (brand new).  Comes in a big box with a slipcase.

I just bought a brand new sealed original big box release of Quake 1 for AU $12 with free postage.  That's slightly cheaper than a sealed one I saw that cost well over $100 (someone actually bought it for that much, for some reason).

I just discovered that the Unreal and UT discs I have are bootlegs (got them from a thrift store some time ago).  o_O

I still have like a dozen old shovelware game CDs.  Heh.

I think I will stop putting two spaces after full stops and colons.

I will probably soon convert my game collection text list to a more organized CSV format, as I feel the list is getting hard to read.

I wonder exactly how many different physical releases there are of DOOM II.  Although I don't collect them, I do like seeing pictures of the various boxes and whatnot.

Is there any way to tell if an unopened/sealed Ultimate DOOM box contains the poster (besides buying it and opening it, of course)?  I know some releases don't have it.

Just bought a sealed DOOM II big box (DOS CD-ROM version) from the US, and with shipping included it still didn't cost even half as much as an Australian-located sealed copy I saw.  There's also another one located in AU, albeit opened and in very poor condition, and it costs about AU $60 more than the one I got.

Not sure if such a thing already exists online, but I made a little list of the different physical releases of the classic DOOM games.  Some things are likely still missing from the list, particularly Japanese releases since I don't know much about them.  Link:  click

Ordered the original big box release of Final DOOM (UK version).  I already have the jewel case and manual (which is small and in black and white) from the Platinum budget re-release, but the original box is cool (I don't care about the Platinum PC big boxes).  As with the DOOM II box I ordered, it was relatively inexpensive.  Much cheaper than the US boxes I've seen.

Ouch.  Someone got a brand new Wolfenstein 3D big box (first CD-ROM version; NOT the 1998/2001 re-release) for AU $10, literally seconds before I could buy it.

Pic of DOOM stuff I have.  The Ultimate DOOM, Master Levels for DOOM II, Hexen: Beyond Heretic, and DOOM 3 BFG Edition (PS3) all contain posters.
